Producers should look for these signs and symptoms in their livestock: irritated behavior, head shaking, the smell of decay and the presence of y larvae (maggots) in wounds. Protect open skin: untreated navels, tail docking, castration, shearing or other wounds, foot or reproductive lesions, etc. You can learn more about these risk areas at screwworm.gov. Finally, treating wounds properly when they occur is a critical step to avoiding screwworm infestation. Schedule procedures during low y seasons or avoid doing them, if possible, to prevent new wounds/openings for screwworm ies to lay eggs. If you see any concerning signs, contact your herd veterinarian who can decide if the case should be reported to the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA). For Nebraska producers, it’s important to remain vigilant about the NWS situation and where the y is within the country. The best source for NWS information in Nebraska is the NDA NWS website, nda.nebraska.gov/animal/diseases/nws, or USDA’s website, screwworm.gov. These websites provide links to other resources, including the Texas Animal Health Commission website that illustrates where infested zones are located. If you receive livestock from infested states or travel with animals to infested states, you should monitor the animals closely for two to three weeks after return, examining your animals for wounds. Additionally, work with your herd veterinarian to discuss best practices and preemptive plans, especially if you are getting animals from infested states or traveling with animals to infested states. You can also contact NDA with any questions by calling (402) 471-2351. ~NC~
